Traumatic Bone Cyst of Mandible: A Case Report of Rare Entity and Review of Literature

Sukhvinder Bindra et al. Contemp Clin Dent. 2019 Jan-Mar.

Abstract

The traumatic bone cyst was first described by Lucas in 1929 and later by Rushton. A solitary bone cyst (SBC) is a nonneoplastic osseous lesion affecting ≥95% of the metaphyses of long bones such as the proximal humerus and femur. The incidence of cyst affecting the jaws is 1% of all the cyst. About 89% of the lesion occurs in the mandible and 11% in the maxilla. Majority of the lesions occur in the posterior mandible, especially in the premolar-molar region. In this case report, we are presenting one such case of multiple lesions of SBC in mandible with systematic review of the literature.

Keywords: Mandible; multiple lesions; traumatic bone cyst.
